I think that is the one I d/l from the wiki. Not sure though.

There is a version of RubyFIT in CVS on RubyForge. I tried it out and
it ran the Simple example (eg.Division) right out of the box. Solves
the precision problem by using a type adapter. Looking forward to how
that code addresses the 5 digit precision issue in Java v. Ruby.

So take a look at that one. If yours is better/different somehow, go
ahead and post it.
